Tables in Smartforms

[Former Member]

I have two questions. Please help.

1. I am trying to use tables to print the long texts within the MAIN window under Main Area and Footer. Just want to confirm whether there is any limitation in terms of printing of the texts.

2. The other question is how to declare the line type.

HI,

You can use the following node types for tables:

The template node. Templates are static because the number of columns and lines are determined before the actual output.

The table node. Tables are dynamic because the table size depends on the amount of data selected at runtime.

To specify the layout of both node types, use line types.

<b>Line Types</b>

You use line types to construct the layout of templates and tables. For both node types, you use the line type to describe the following attributes of a table line:

The width of the table line

The number and width of individual cells within the table line

A major difference between line types of templates and line types of tables lies in the height: line types of templates all have the same height, while SAP Smart Forms determines the height of table lines dynamically (depending on the output in the table).
